Have a passion for expressing yourself? ACYP’s design competition is perfect for you.

Engage your creative side and be in with an opportunity to win a GoPro for you and one for your school/organisation/community group or club or runner-up prizes of a $100 or a $50 voucher.

To participate in the Advocate for Children and Young People’s (ACYP) Design Competition you are invited to draw, paint or digitally create a design using what more than 4000 children and young people in NSW said they wanted for their community as inspiration.

The winning designs will be transferred onto scarves and ties worn by NSW opinion leaders. Copies will also be provided to the NSW Premier, the Hon. Gladys Berejiklian MP and exhibited at NSW Parliament House during Children’s Week between 21 and 29 October.

Over 4000 NSW children and young people had their say on what is important to them, so we are asking children and young people to take their inspiration from what their peers have said. The qualities of a good society that children and young people wanted are Safe, Connect, Respect, Opportunity, Wellbeing and Voice.

The categories are:

Category one – 0-5 year olds

Category two – 6-11 year olds

Category three – 12-17 year olds

The completion closes on Friday 13 October so hurry and start working on your design before it’s too late. Visit www.acyp.nsw.gov.au for more information on how to submit your design and to read the competition terms and conditions.

Winners will be announced during NSW Children’s Week this October, to learn more about NSW Children’s Week visit www.nswchildrensweek.org.au
